Dear Applicant

Thank you for your interest in becoming an Occupational license employee in the Marijuana industry. Before you submit your application, we want to make you aware of a few facts.

The Marijuana industry in Colorado is one of the most scrutinized businesses in the state, because Colorado citizens want the industry and everyone involved in it free from even the hint of any corruption or deceit. That’s why we take our regulation of the industry very seriously, including the issuance of licenses.

During the licensing process, we will conduct a thorough check of your background. If you pass our qualifications, you will be found suitable as an Occupational employee license holder that will allow you to work in the Marijuana industry. You should know that a Marijuana license is a privilege, not a right. One thing you must do to obtain this privilege, is be completely honest on your license application. The burden of proving qualifications for licensure, rests at all times with the applicant.

In particular, we ask you on page 3 of the application: “In the last 10 years have you been arrested, served a criminal summons, charged with, or convicted of ANY crime regarding the possession, distribution, or use of a controlled substance? (Unless charge was prior to age 18 and was adjudicated as a juvenile). In the past 5 years, but not prior to age 18 (unless charge was prior to age 18 and was adjudicated as a juvenile), have you been arrested, served with a criminal summons, charged with, or convicted of ANY crime or offense in any manner in this or any other country?” The application goes on to tell you to explain ALL such arrests or charges no matter the final outcome (dismissed charges sealed by the court do not need to be disclosed).

Did you list ALL arrests and charges required on page 4. This includes drug-related offenses and any other offenses in the last 10 years. Are you clear about what you need to disclose? If not, then ask someone at the front desk to assist you and answer any questions you might have. Here are some of the excuses we have heard from people who have failed to disclose arrests to us:

• My attorney told me I didn’t have to disclose.• I didn’t think I was arrested, because I only got a ticket/citation.• I didn’t think the arrest had anything to do with Marijuana.• I didn’t think that was still on my record.

If you have a conviction that resulted in your record being sealed or expunged, you must include the order from the judge. You have been informed throughout the application to disclose ALL arrests (except those non-convictions that were sealed or expunged). And you have just been informed again: You will not necessarily be denied a finding of suitability if you have ever been arrested, but you may be denied if you fail to disclose any arrest (unless it was sealed or expunged).

I have read and understand this letter.
